This is the story of the famous calendar and how and why a group of ladies decided in April 1999 to bare all for their local hospital. Tricia was the instigator of the Alternative WI Calendar; the effect was expected to last 3 weeks but 18 years later it is still going strong with a film, a stage play and now a musical. The Calendar Girls have raised over £4,000,000 for Leukaemia Research.
